Excellent Gym Facilities

“During my stay, I was thoroughly impressed with the workout studio with ample space and privacy thanks to the wooden shades. It felt great knowing that the employees would promptly ensure these shades were down, allowing me to focus on my fitness goals without feeling exposed. The addition of a steam room, sauna, and Turkish bath made it all the more enjoyable, meaning I didn't need to seek out any hamam in the city.” view full review

Luxurious Spa Experience

“The spa facilities at the Intercontinental were a revelation! I often indulged in the Turkish bath, which proved to be the perfect way to unwind after a busy day. Compared to other hamams I've visited in the city, the hotel's spa experience was simply unmatched, combining relaxation with a cultural treat.” view full review

Delicious Breakfast Buffet

“I initially chose not to include breakfast in my reservation, but once I experienced the exquisite breakfast buffet, I was so glad I changed my mind! The array of fresh, authentic dishes available was nothing short of excellent, and I enjoyed savoring every bite. It surely was worth every dollar!” view full review

Really good Room Views

“The city view from my room was absolutely amazing. I particularly loved spending evenings on the terrace, gazing over the fine Bosphorus Strait. With the terrace usually quiet, it became my personal sanctuary to relax and sip tea while enjoying the picturesque sights of the city.” view full review

Overall, the attentive staff made my experience enjoyable, but the hotel could improve in some areas related to cleanliness and handling guest requests.
